Last weekend i was playing at soccer city and since this particular facility has boards strikers often make runs down the boards towards the goal and then cross it off the wall. Well this player decided to carry it into the box. I came out of my goal and noticed the ball had a bit of a bounce to it, so i slid out with my arms and stole it from his feet. At the same time he was going to strike (volley)the ball..... well since the ball was in my hands he missed the ball and struck my head with his foot at full force.
I felt a very strange ringing sensation and then woke up face first in the turf....
The ref. loked at me and said "You ok...???" and signalled for me to start the play.
I placed the ball down passed it to a defender..and walked off the field, i felt very very ill, and then was out of it for most of the night....Giggling, issues speaking...
I did not go to the hosp. although i def. should have as i am sure i had a concussion.
I felt fine, well i believe it was fine the day after...But moral of the story if you suspect a head injury, no matter how mild get it checked.
